Heel Protectors(4Pcs), Heel Cups for Heel Pain, Heel Cushion for Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pads Great for Heel Pain Relief, Achilles Tendinitis, Bone Spur, for Men & Women (Black, Small Size)

Over the past few years, I developed heel spurs on both my feet due to the modified posture I was walking with because of rheumatoid arthritis pain. On the x-rays, they look like tiny sharp sickles made of solid bone that dig into my Achilles tendon and cause unbearable pain. I got to the point where I could hardly walk and my doctor told me I needed a risky surgery to help. He gave me a set of generic heel pads to put in my shoes, and they helped slightly, but without straps they slid everywhere and made me unbalanced and unsteady so I stopped using them.I randomly went on Amazon to look at any other possible solutions and came across these heel pads. They are totally different (and much cheaper than what my doctor charged for a worse quality product!). The straps fit comfortably around my foot and provide support to my ankles, correcting my stride so my heel spurs don't grow worse. And the cushioning on the bottom is much thicker and more comfortable, made of cloth and breathable gel rather than foam, which doesn'tbreathe and gets very hot and sweaty. I definitely recommend spending the extra $1 to get the non-slip version, which allows you to wear them with sandals and other open shoes without sliding. Best $16 I've ever spent!

But they flatten quickly, then don’t cushion your heel quite as much. However, each one does help for a few days. I think I’ll use them for sleep only - they are comfortable enough to sleep in, help ease the heel pain when getting up in the morning (one of the worst times), and wont flatten out as quickly. All in all, not sorry I bought them.

I use these for my Plantar Fasciitis and it helps so much, over my sock inside my shoes... i can wear it all day..now the only problem i have is after a week or so of use, the gel soul starts to go bad... and is useless.. but thankfully i have one bad foot and these last me almost a month befor i need to buy again...

These heel pads are comfortable but the gel pads are not thick enough for my needs.

There is nothing to like about these heel cups. I have really bad plantar fasciitis and I work on my feet all day. I've tried everything from stem-cell injections and cortisone shots to taping my feet daily to no avail. I was hoping for just a little relief and these were absolutely no help at all. It doesn't matter if you put it over the sock or under the sock, within two minutes of walking they are no longer cup your heal, instead they bunch up on the side of your foot. If the back was taller that might help with that issue but unfortunately, they would still be completely useless. The gel pads were flattened withing 5 minutes of walking on them offering zero cushioning. I got maybe 5 minutes of use out of these and now they are sadly just going to be littering a landfill somewhere when I can bring myself to throw them out.

I can't believe how comfortable these were. The only reason I bought it is because I work standing and walking a lot at my work. Last week I started having sharp pains along the sides of my heels (below ankles) the pain feeling like poking small needles everytime I take a step.I had some real soft and thick flipflop to use at work but it isn't working anymore I guess even after I've bought new ones plus I have some really think and soft mats at home and work as well. But still feel the pain.So I tried these on and walk around hard floor, I don't feel any sharp pain.I will update this again after few days.

Made my feet hurt more.

I am a physical therapist and I developed a heel spur while working in a hospital- constant walking on a hard surface. I tried stretches and massage, exercises, icing, getting really good shoes, shoe inserts, etc… none of which really helped. I think the shoe inserts specifically for the heel might have except that I couldn’t get them to stay under my heel. They would end up turned sideways or rolled up or down under my toes… which just added to my discomfort. I had pretty much decided that the only way I was going to be able to walk without excruciating pain was to have surgery, but then I saw these and decided to give them a try. I immediately noted drastic relief. I have been wearing it for about a month now. It’s holding up well. Any pain I have while wearing it is very mild, and there are even times that I don’t have any pain because it does such a good job at pressure relief. I love the strap that goes around the foot to secure it in place, and it is adjustable to fit whatever size. While this item will not fix the underlying cause of the pain, I highly recommend these heel cups to anyone who is simply looking for pressure/pain relief!

Apesar de ser muy delgadas si me están ayudando con el dolor en talón, pero sería mejor si material de relleno fuera más grueso y suave.

I purchased this product as I have heel pain in my left foot. These fit great, are very comfortable and really cushions the heel. Really helped with the pain.

They are easy to put on and off and washable. The straps are adjustable. But they feel hot and stink my feet.I returned them. They did not help with my plantar facitiis and bone spur.

Good support
